Like fiction, but only have a minute? OneParagraph is a subreddit specifically for small format fiction limited to a single paragraph.

Everyone is encouraged to contribute, but silent audience members are just as welcome. If you're unsure how to start, take a quick look at our guidelines.

Note: If your story is divided into more than one paragraph, please consider submitting it to the writing reddit instead.

The [WS] tag is used to request help workshopping a story. When you see that tag in the title or body of a submission, feel free to reply with constructive suggestions as to how the author can make their work stronger. For a full list of common /r/1P title tags, check here.

If you've got an idea for one of our weekly challenges let us know about it here.

There are two generations of challenges. The first were done some time ago. The second generation is the current set that gets updated every week. Everyone is invited to participate in the challenges. New challenges are posted every Sunday night, as well as the winners from the previous week.
